So today I received the B&H catalog. Visions of holidays past ran through my mind. Who else remembers the JC Penney, Montgomery Ward, and Sears holiday catalogs? For those who are a little younger, Toys R Us used to insert a huge flyer into the newspapers. There is something about having a catalog in front of you making comparisons very easy...as well as increasing desires for things we don't have.
The first thing I did was to look up tripods. I shouldn't have traded in my Benro carbon fiber tripod because it would have been fine to leave in the car. The other day I needed to use a slower shutter speed than I could achieve handheld so I pulled my 20 year old Velbon tripod out of the car. Let's just say it isn't quite capable of supporting the weight of my current gear. :beguiled: Had I realized I would need a tripod, I have better ones at home.
For those who received the catalog, what did you search for first? If you didn't yet receive yours, what do you think you'd look for? Is anyone else getting anxious waiting for Black Friday? :shame:
